Involuntarily, Sayuri blushed madly.
"Gosh, Gale... so cheesy...", she mumbled not feeling very confident at all.
Nevertheless, she still stumbled onwards determined to make it to class with as little help from Gale as possible.

The walk to the classroom stayed awkwardly quiet and neither of them said anything until they had arrived at the classroom.

One certain student noticed Sayuri's indisposition and he came straight for her.
Before the change Takumi Ikeda had been a childhood friend Seiichi had always hung out with. Now, it seemed, not much had changed in that regard.
"Hey, Sayu, are you alright?" Masterfully he had just taken Gale's place without him being able to do anything about that. Right then he slung his arm around the tiny Sayuri and led her to her seat whispering to Gale: "Thanks, but I'll take it from here..."

Anyhow, Sayuri was still feeling rather weak from her episode of unconsciousness and, of course, the bodily changes, too.
With extreme caring Takumi tried his best to alleviate her faintness pumping her full with energy drinks and vitamin cocktails. 

All his effort brought him at least a weak smile and a "Thank you, Taku."
Subsequently Takumi reacted differently to her stammering than Sayuri had expected.
"Wow... you're really sick... normally you'd punch me, or at least give a snappy commentary. I want my Sayu back. The Sayu I'm friends with."

Unnoticed by the tiny red head, Takumi mouthed "Don't try anything funny with her" towards Gale.
